Bloody Hell! I don't live in the US so I am shocked at some of the things they show on TV. Me, I'm happy with nice , calm John Oliver shows.

Hit 'em where it hurts. Lessen your dependence on meat and definitely lower chicken consumption. I'm not selling my conscience to buy cheap meat.

We have one in my town everybody calls it the chicken factory I was told not to work their it's all meth heads and their all holding knifes

I've been working in a meat department for about 8 years. It's insane to think about the meat industry. Like looking at how much meat we go through in a day, week, month or year. Everything about it is insane

Thank you for this piece. Would it be possible to add Spanish subtitles?

AMERICA 🇺🇸 🤣

That $15,000 fine is the equivalent of fining a family who makes $100,000 a year all of 3¢ for an infraction. I mean, a toddler could come up with that kind of money by digging through couch cushions and have money left over! Average income in the US is half of that. So rounding up, that’s 2¢. Fines have to hurt to be effective. #PerspectiveIsEverything

I always find it interesting how this topic can cause such a visceral reaction and yet the obvious solution of “just stop eating meat” is dismissed out of hand because...it tastes good so fuck everything else?

The government's response was for Trump to sign an executive order to keep the packing plants open during the pandemic. In 2019 he signed an order to reduce the number of inspectors in pork processing plants and to run the lines with no speed limits. Great guy, that Trump.

Meat packing is a highly consolidated industry Wait which industry was not 😂😂😂 The Unemployed Industry is not consolidated !!!

the 3 women on the talkshow reacted pretty well to that!

The Script A Mafia Story! Read The Movie For Your Mind...

John's an expert in meatpackimg

I'm only 30 but I hope I live long enough to see when America finally eats their rich. I'm not sure if I was born at the right time, but America ends with the rich being eaten. No other path with this level of corruption and greed.

This show is almost as good as Tucker Carlson

My university professor first introduced me to this show and I can't thank him enough

The fact that an exploitative industry exploits people 😱

Amen!

I thought he was acting in the Community But he's really this person

I love cooking if not busy

Why are you guys focusing on to eat or not to eat meat? The problem is not the meat, the problem is the shitty working condition.

"Hi I'm Jim Purdue, and my chickens eat better than you do! For one thing, I don't let 'em eat chicken. And if one of my employees forgets to put my name on a single chicken leg, I chop that stupid bugger up and feed HIM to the chickens!"

A boy asked a girl in a library: "Do you mind if I sit next to you"? The girl replied with a loud angry voice; "I don't want to spend the night with you !! Everyone in the library started looking at the boy and felt embarrassed. After a few minutes the girl walked calmly to the boy's table and said: I study psychology and I know what the man is thinking, I suppose you felt ashamed, right? The boy answered out loud: $ 300 for one night That's too much! and all the people in the library looked at the girl in shock and the boy whispered in her ear, "I study laws and I know how to make someone guilty ... 🤭 If you like the comment, please "write" on my channel ...

This is why you can buy steak at the Dollar Store

Rich British Guy yelling about one of America’s founding industry’s. Yeah This guy stinks

YOU and Thom are CLUELESS. WHY DOES Thom Hartman act CLUELESS as WA State BERNIECRAT CANDIDATES toss the American injured workers federal ISSUE under the progressives boat? https://youtu.be/N8CPo5-5FaA

And yet the fine a College can get for leaving a mop bucket unattended is like 70k. What the actual hell?

This is sadly true, I've worked for Perdue, and my Family currently works for Perdue. An Perdue doesn't care about it's employees even during the pandemic they took minimal safety measures against covid if you want a test for it, it'll be 100 of your pay-checks and if you have covid then your ordered to be at home for 2 weeks which they don't pay. Not to mention the other things that happen.

Change your shows name to rolling out the great reset agenda...one episode at a time (meat is evil, climate change, pandemics, social injustice, etc.). Klaus is proud of you.

Poor people in poor areas, people without professional skills and ex inmates have trouble getting jobs -> look how at these bad companies that don't hire those vulnerable people ! The meatpacking industry provides these people with jobs --> they are taking advantage of these poor people ! This is just a dishonest argument. In my country we try to overprotect the "vulnerables" and guess what... 10% of people can't find a job at all

We should all stop eating meat during the pandemic - that would teach them! (I am not at vegetarian, but here in Germany many meat-processing plants have been affected, too).

They punished the worker for the company not letting the man pee...?

john oliver is one of the dumbest people on the planet

Wow. This segment sounds like the usual description the U.S gives of China. The difference between China and the U.S China invest in their people and the U.S invest in its corporations.

Tyson is like my family

Yet another reason to boycott the meat, dairy and egg industry

Those reasons just keep piling up don't they.

Meat, dairy and egg industry is disgusting. So are the consumers who support it once the know the truth about the horrid conditions, cruelty and death.

100% agree.

God no wonder why Tyson tastes so fucking good. I can't eat a product unless it's produced by at minimum 50% slave labor. If I had a dollar for every one of you chucklefucks crying about how evil meatpacking is while using a microsoft device I'd probably have enough money to buy a meat plant and its staff on my own.

Wait... this isn't about the animals... this is about humans ? don't care. /sarcasm.

I'm a nurse When the tyson employee a.d their loved ones started trending in the ERs and ICUs we started keeping an unofficial tally. We just knew 'Tyson Factory Worker's would become a COVID statistical subclass for contact tracing...guess it turns out the government opted to pretend like the TYSON Factory COVID-19 epidemiological trend never happened 🙄😒

All of these managers aught to get a visit from child protective services if that's how they treat family members

They only give a fraction of a fuck

On point as always...

And, this is just, what is.

Oof. 5000 dollars a life, thats how much were worth to companies, its fun.

The 1 %ers like it just like that.

I was a security guard at the largest hog plant in the world, Smithfield Hog Plant in Tar Heel N.C. I was assigned to the main entrance where I was told I couldn’t leave to use the bathroom and if I really had to go bad I had to call the parking lot guard OVER THE RADIO SO EVERYONE KNEW, wait for them to get there and they had to stand at my spot until I was done so that was embarrassing. I told the boss I couldn’t do it anymore and he moved me to 3rd shift parking lot security. I had to patrol the outside and parts of the inside because someone took a crap on the kill floor cooler floor! The kill floor was so hot that the man who was in charge with cutting the pigs heads off with a “jaws of life” type tool wasn’t wearing a shirt. The majority of the employees came from a country where they didn’t have indoor plumbing so they would hardly ever flush or wash their hands! They would defecate on top of the last employees waste and this would clog up the toilets when maintenance tried to flush it making the place smell horrible! Hell I even remember seeing some of the men from the kill floor bring the knives they used to cut their part of the hogs with and hand sharpener‘s outside with them on their breaks! Even though this was in the early 2000’s I can still vividly see them walk back in sharpening their knives and thinking, I’m 19/20 and I’m not even allowed pepper spray! smh Also my ex-boss tried to put me back at my original post so I quit! This is the same man that would constantly say the N word and talk crap about black people but ended up marrying an African American Woman. Wonder what she would think if she knew that!

Same with almost every single big company ever

This is why employees have to unionize and why companies pay to lobby so hard against unions

“We let the office employees stretch sometimes! We’re so great!” (I’d bet it’s not even on paid time)

Eat meat repeat the story of mankind

So this nerd cries about Trump for 4 years and now he doesn't talk Politics?

If you really cared about these workers, the planet and the animals, you would stop supporting these evil companies by ditching MEAT off your plate today. But nobody wants to do that.

15:55 - Ah yes, JBS. The company that became the world's largest meat processor with the help of corruption and the Brazilian government

Fucking sad, is this really what America has become? Here is a topic for you, John Ive worked for a major city fire department as a paramedic for years and you should see our treatment after injuries or lack there of. None of us are ever "repaired", it's kinda like they will drag it out until unavoidable any longer, then maybe take they might take it seriously, oh and and if you get to see a doctor you see some of the shittiest quack doctors, if there is any surgery or less invasive treatments preformed, they are rushed and done half assed.

Talk about declining fertility rate all over world

Ranch Flavored Chicken Chips is my new band name.

What the family need is the holy handgranade. How can a brittish man not know this?

Does it cause you any anxiety that you can't mention Trump every 10 seconds anymore?

I work on a cruise ship and it is pretty much the same.

Yay.. America is back🤣👌🇺🇸. So.. When are the flogging and hanging of workers starting?

Interesting. And where exactly is the difference to China?

Is this how "the greatest country in the world and we're proud of it" treats its workers? What year are we in? Charles Dickens wrote about these conditions back in the 19 century!

Thank you for not saying become "vegan" when you get to the party about what we can do. Just bc u don't eat meat doesn't mean your of the hook somehow. And like you always say, Mr. Oliver, we need to do better. For everyone.

Just how much shittier is the USA than the rest of the western world? John Oliver seems to be making a career on these sort of stories, that would be unimaginable in western Europe.

Do I need to go vegan to protest the treatment of meat packing workers?

Hey vegans! Take note; *this* is how you argue for veganism.

@james byrne I'm not, but im now considering boycotting the companies mentioned in this video, and any other company doing this to their workers by not buying meat packed in their facilities, which might end up forcing me to, at minimum, a vegetarian diet because better sources of meat(humane family farms, etc.) are almost certain to be more expensive. This is more than any argument specifically for veganism or against meat has accomplished in me.

How long have you been vegan?

nice to find him back to his roots instead of lib dem BS

One of the many reasons I don't eat meat

So most of them should quit and try to get jobs at Osha instead

robot fuck a soup noooOOOO

Go ahead John. Talk about the nightmares happening in the animal farming industry.

Burn it!

How do you screw up ranch flavor that badly?

Time to go vegan.

so why the fuck does anyone still eat meat?

A fact is a unit of data that is not in dispute or is indisputable in that it can be empirically verified objectively. 2:29 What you just asserted is not a fact. It's your own subjective opinion, which differs from almost everyone else's. C'mon John; you are better than that.

I wish these YouTube descriptions included show notes so I can do further research on what what's being said. Seems like the tl;dr here is buy from local farms and local butchers.

Should get ur old writers still good but cheaper jokes still love the show tho

Meat is one of the biggest cause of climate change, the animals are tortured and now this.... I don’t understand why people can’t just quit a luxury(of eating meat) for the benefit of the planet.

When is Brexit IV?

The disgusted public could apply pressure by halving the amount of meat you eat

@LastWeekTonight - John: You should have sent your trolls to the meatfactories websites to maul them into behaving (since laws, 'order' and behaving humanely seems to be a longshot in this buiness)

Thank you for showing this! Everyone needs to know! Slave labour on top of it all! Why aren't people protesting in the streets? Everyone (almost) eats meat. This is not a theme for a comedy show. Where is the comedy, I see only tragedies!

they probably just have the opinion that the tests used show flu shots and not real sars , cuz it aint a real virus

If everything with a slightly leftist aspect is a communism atrocity that will make USA fall in the grasp of Stalin and ruin it forever...well this is the result: no laws for worker class but just against them. Cos you know, the market will fix the problem by itself 👍

Why does anyone want to work in the USA?

Who clicked and thought, "Here we go again, it's going to be about Agriprocessors"? What a surprise.

Best Country in the world indeed...

All true, used to work at a meat processing plant before.

So, just to be clear, if a "human machine" is eventually replaced by an "actual machine", would that still be an issue? I bet it would.

*And is why some people just hate everything and everyone.*

Why are OSHA staff levels so low? Child protective services are low, too. And I'm sure lots of other areas. What do we do about this?

Well Brexit voters...Behold the future of Britain's workers after deregulating those 'pesky ' E.U laws...Enjoy !

It's Stark?

They all have rabies now
